Friendship IRL: Real Talk About Friendship, Community, and What It Actually Takes

The Magical Combination of Intention and Small, Simple Actions With Zahara Williams


Listen Later

Never underestimate the power of the simple things, especially when it comes to friendship.

I love that we tackle the big topics on this podcast, but there’s a special place in my heart for episodes like this one.

Today’s guest is Dr. Zahara Williams, who is a therapist, speaker and author of the After Betrayal workbook. Here, we talk about an amazing group of friends she’s remained close with for years, even after a major move away.

Listening to this episode, I was reminded of how powerful the combination of intention and small actions can be. At the end of the day, it’s the little stuff – the stuff that can easily be passed over – that is actually some of the most significant work we can do in our connections. 

In this episode you’ll hear about:

  • Thinking about the roles we play in our friends and being intentional about how we want to show up as time goes on
  • Shifting the way we use technology to maintain our friendships during big life changes (plus, using social media to actually CONNECT and not lurk!)
  • Going on the friendship journey and remembering all our friends started at zero at one point
  • Not allowing bad circumstances to limit us from having a beautiful experience with a group of friends
  • Being our authentic selves and not getting caught up on the friendships that don’t work (because maybe they don’t work for a reason!)
